lol, no it fucking wasn't
Even Ken Shamrock and Tito Ortiz didn't act like spastics post-fight
Dana White has been banking on Connor disrespect and drama generated from it
What Conor does is nothing new
at all
And now he's gonna act all surprised, "oh how did this happend"
And is absolutely nothing compared to boxing
`What Conor does is nothing new` Exactly
Exactly what?
Noone else has spazzed out post-fight like this
No one else acts like Connor over and over.
pfffffffffhahaha
If that's justifiable because he brings money in
absolute bullshit mate
Then this is the new standard set up by the new champion
clearly new to all this, aren't you
After the fight you can turn into a bar fight
yeah nah
Because champion
A good fighter should be able to just go in for the actual fight and not be contractually be forced to participate in such shit talk shows if it's not what is there for.
Every fighter is different
Most are hugely confident in themselves and many will talk shit as part of the pre-fight spararing to A) get into their opponents head and B) because yes, it generates interest in the fight
I guess you just like the drama, must be an English first language thing 😄
That doesn't suddenly mean it's okay to leap the cage and attack someone in the crowd post fight (after you WIN, no less)
Oddly enough I haven't said anything about whether or not I 'like the drama'
I've been following combat sports for well over ten years
Some fighters are brash, some are quiet
All part of what makes it such a fascinating sport to watch
Massive variation in the characters that populate it
BJ Penn came from a wealthy family and didn't even need to fight to begin with, but did so because of the challenge it presented
Dana White, the UFC, the House, banks on shit talk and drama to sell tickets
And I laugh at their moral surprise at something like this happening
Almost like they're a promotion or something <:think_woke:378717098681171988>
Yeah, it wasn't their plans
You think someone attacking someone in the crowd post-fight is a regular thing
interesting.
The drama game went to far and all
But don't act surprise when that's the position you people in.
The amount of things I've heard said between fighters over the years, pre-fight
